I feel like Matt Damon dying was the perfect ending. One of the most satisfying deaths ever.
*"MATT DAMON!"*
- Matt Damon
But the actor didn't die.
Because just when you think he's going to get away with it and the film will end on a downer BAM.
Yikes, the original Matt Damon's character gets away with it because the Walberg character doesn't exist. But American audiences hate a sad ending.
@@joelwillis2043 Pfft. It wasn't sad if he got away with it, maybe annoying at best. That slow pan up of Mark Wahlberg wearing latex gloves and assassinating him is one of my favorite scenes, you'd really rather lose that?
Dialogues in this movie are just pure gold.
When I saw this in theaters, and it cut to Queenan falling from the building, the auditorium collectively gasped and then fell silent. And then there was the climax of the movie...
I saw this in theaters and I couldn't stop the what the fuck coming out of my mouth for the elevator scene.
Yeah. I don't think I've ever experienced a collective gasp quite like that 😅 it's kinda funny in hindsight. 200 people going 😱 completely in unison
“It didn’t solve anything!” Welcome to Boston 😅
Lived in Boston for seven years. LOL'd at this statement!
Lmao. A place where people can’t get out of their own way and everyone’s sound their wheels lol
Leo's death in this movie is the angriest I've ever been at a film. I (watching it at home) had to pause the film and rampage around my house for at least 15 minutes in a fucking violent fury at the sheer injustice of it all. Which, man, when a movie makes you that angry... that's a good movie.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can imagine your little moment so well and completely understand.
The Departed isn’t just a remake of the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs, but it is also loosely based on the real-life Boston Winter Hill Gang. Martin Scorsese interweaved fact and fiction seamlessly, which makes the remake wholly original.
Yes! Jack Nicholson's character is based on Whitey Bulger, who did have a man on the inside. Over the years of working as an "informant" for the FBI (during which time he gave zero evidence that they didn't already have and lead to zero new arrests) he was able to murder like a dozen people with impunity, due to the protection afforded to him from his crooked FBI handler, agent John Connolly. Fascinating stuff.
Not really.. it's almost shot for shot the remake. He did mold characters after the gang (pretty much matching characters to their hk counterparts) ..but film wise and arc wise it's infernal affairs.
@@momo7989 Have you seen Spike Lee's remake of South Korea's Old Boy?
@@Mangolite I'll be honest I didn't see the point of remaking it (I feel the same way about train to busan upcoming remake).. the Korean film did pretty well overseas especially in America. I actually want to read the manga it's based on
@@momo7989 You're right. Some of the key scenes are shot for shot. Was disappointed to find out that out, honestly. It's a fine movie, but is somewhat of a needless reiteration.
Mention of a Martin Scorsese marathon gets me very excited. Mean Streets, Alice doesn't live here anymore, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The King of comedy, After Hours, Last temptation of Christ, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, Casino, Wolf of Wall Street, The Irishman. All Fucking incredible
I'd like them to see the original Cape Fear before the remake, though.
And Hugo! For a childrens movie I found myself glued to the screen. Scorsese is my favorite director of all time with so much diversity in his works
And Silence!
@@mistahmata Yes, forgot to put that one, class film
@@peeweewallabowski7084 He's the best of all time mate, no argument in my opinion
One of my favorite things in this film is the "follow the X" of the deaths. An X will appear behind or across the character that's about to or will die over the course of the film. Sooooo good.
That was done in the original Howard Hawks "Scarface" (1932), which was just a genius idea and I loved it. Now I'm mad at myself for never realizing the same thing was done in this film by another mad genius!
Reminds me of Danganronpa ahahaha
Really!!!! Wow. I will check it out thanks.
One of the most intense visits to the cinema I've ever had. I didn't move for the entire film. This film just locks you in and the way Scorsese maintains momentum and tension for the whole film is incredible. It's not his best film, I still think that's Goodfellas, but as pure enthralling cinema goes, The Departed is very hard to beat. Also, the shot of Vera Farmiga walking past Matt Damon at the end is a reference to The Third Man
If I had to choose Goodfellas is one of those movies you can rewatch forever. The Departed is one of those movies you'll wish you can forget to rewatch again for the first time.
Nicholson improvised the "gnawing little rat" bit I believe, which LDC wasn't expecting.
I always took the ending as Costigan gave Madilyn evidence against Collin in the envelope along with instructions to contact Dignam. Because he specifically said "open this if something happens to me"...well, next thing we know he's dead, and Madilyn was at his funeral...then Dignam shows up at Collin's apartment. I don't think that's a coincidence
I’m actually shocked Sullivan didn’t kill Maddy once she let him know that she listened to the tapes-He’s utterly soulless. I’ve very little doubt that he would’ve done so in self-preservation.
It's not. That's exactly what happened
@@richlisola1 I think maybe because she was pregnant with what maybe his child
Wahlberg'd character was the perfect hardass cop. And he brought justice.
Leonardo brought everyone to light and took the crew down as a whole. Mark just cleaned up the end.
Loved his character.
Goodfellas was great as well.
But this was really well-done.
And what makes it "realistic" is that a real HERO doesn't always "win" or even live at the end.
That's the lesson from the original movie as well.
I like the ending lacking resolution because that's kind of how life often is, isn't it? Wahlberg taking out Damon felt like the best case scenario for a situation as crazy as this.
The police are definitely always involved with the mob. So I'm surprised to hear that Shawn thinks it's unrealistic. It's very realistic, especially in Boston.
I mean it's quite literally based on the real Winter Hill Gang
There's plenty of books that talk about police and the mob working together and there's plenty of books talking about the military working with cartel group to smuggle fire arms and drugs American made the movie shows that well enough, the reason why people can't believe these things is because the school system teaches you to follow authority and to not critically think for your self and so far it works wonders for the sheep that get rewarded for being ignorant and enslaved to debt
@@17thknight actually is based on film called infernal affairs..a well known triad film. The director chose to mold certain characters off the Irish mob..but this film is literally almost shot for shot the og film
@@momo7989 Yup, based on Whitey Bolger! Some fiction some not! But these guys should never, for one minute think that the police have never worked with the mob!
@@jaybird8192 so many cities in the 80s and 90s had plants in their forces!!
I think that Leo sent Mark Wahlberg's character a tape just like he sent the psychiatrist and Matt Damon.
I like to think he 100% figured it out on his own, cause he's such an asshole who can't trust anyone and doesn't give a fuck, badass character lol
I always figured since Colin was the only survivor that killed Bill Dignam just put it together.
I think either he mailed Dignam a copy of the tapes, or I think maybe he instructed Maddy to deliver the tapes to Dignam in the event of his (Billy Costigan’s death).
"We haven't done a gangster film before" - Don't forget City of God, please. NEVER forget City of God.
The balls on this movie make it earn all my respect, on top of just how well made it is, top-down. No matter how much I watch it, that ending and the fate of Costigan never feels any less painful. One of the biggest bummer endings of all time, but man does it all stick with you. Truly a masterpiece of gangster filmmaking.
get this man to watch goodfellas and casino IMMEDIATELY
Fun Fact: The 3rd act of this movie has the highest body count out of any third act in any of Scorsese's other movies
Can't believe Tom has not seen Goodfellas it's one of the best gangster films ever made.
The trio of Scorcese mob films that are must sees are Goodfellas, Casino and The Departed.
The Coen Bros Miller’s Crossing is also a must watch.
Or Casino!
@@domenicgalata1470 look in your heeeart
He hasn't see Goodfellas?! A crime.
_"You have an immaculate record. Some guys don't trust an immaculate record. I do. I have an immaculate record."_
It's one of the things Scorsese does really well with his films - pacing. They are quite often very long but he knows exactly how to draw you in and keep you riveted right through to the end. He is a curator of cinema (Hugo being his love letter to it's inception) and has long championed the proper storage of film elements, their restoration and re-issue to keep them alive. He has a love for old British films in particular the work of Powell & Pressburger - you can't do wrong by looking at some of their work and understanding how film can work as art as well as entertainment.
Gangster films - well I can't help but think you should always go back to the early days when you start to explore a genre and the best often had James Cagney in them "Public Enemy", "Angels With Dirty Faces", "The Roaring Twenties"", "White Heat" -
Oh and you can't call yourselves movie buffs if you haven't seen "Goodfellas" - sort it out!
When Leo's character got killed off I jumped a mile...and shouted DAMN IT!!! XD
If you get the chance, you should check out Infernal Affairs which is the film The Departed was essential a western remake of.
I don't remember seeing any cowboys.
Infernal affairs being a far superior trilogy...
The Departed is not a western
@@romanxxxxyoutube I’m pretty sure they mean an American version, not an actual western with cowboys.
I like your DotF PFP! That’s may favorite Batman comic storyline!!!!
When Tom said something along the lines of he didn't believe this corruption/mob or something in this American setting, I literally said out loud "Whattttt!? Boston has some of the most notorious cases of this!"
Dropkick Muphy's - Shipping up to Boston. What an ass kicking tune.
I think the Academy gave Scorsese the Directing Oscar for this to make up for the fact he didn't win for Goodfellas.
Or Raging Bull
The Academy is incredibly political, despite claims of being held to a higher standard. GOODFELLAS, while killing at the box office when it came out, was almost universally trashed by critics. Still can't quite wrap my head around that one.
they did lol and Best Picture.And Screenplay
1000%
Yeah dat true, honestly I don't see how it won BP. There are much better films out there that didn't win.
Fun Fact: The shop owners daughter at the very beginning of the movie is my highschool media teachers wife. The next movie she was apart of is the one they met at apparently.
The dude that gave the wrong address to billy was undercover too
i'm really enjoying the undercover cop movies reactions. The next one i would love to see is Donnie Brasco
Probably the most infuriating Death ever
Mm-hmm. Still hurts to this day lol.
I like it, because it's very good at conveying what Scorsese wanted to convey... but I'm a sucker for the ending where everything works out and is a little happier, so a big part of me also wishes Billy didn't have to die.
It's kinda like Leon the Professional in that way. The ending makes perfect sense and you kinda know it couldn't end any other way, but you still wish it never went in that direction.
@@BrokenGodEnt oh yes for sure its a perfect ending, not infuriating in the way that I dont like it, infuriating in the way Scorsese meant for it to be
Certainly the most shocking
Honestly, the whole film is so convoluted. Now don't get me wrong, the elevator scene was the most shocking twist that made me drop my drink when I saw it. Like the first time I watched The Departed, I didn't see that coming.
But at the same time, it doesn't make any sense. Like how is Trooper Barrigan a mole? The movie establishes the Frank Costello met Colin as a kid, but when did Frank met Barrigan? And WHY was Barrigan doing this? Like there's no foreshadowing of Barrigan's motives. And yeah, maybe Frank did this to cover up his bases, and added a few moles in, just in case one mole got outed or didn't progress/make it far enough into the police force to be useful; but WHY does Barrigan know about Colin, but Colin doesn't know about Barrigan? I mean they were in the SAME training class, for crying out loud. Did Barrigan get turned later? I mean if we the audience are gonna go with the assumption that Barrigan's the mole and knows about what Colin's been doing and maybe Barrigan was only planted just to keep an eye on Colin, HOW does Barrigan know that Frank was an FBI informant? Colin, who has reached one of the HIGHEST RANKS of the State Police, doesn't even know about it and only found out about it due to a single journal entry from Captain Queenan. But that's because Billy told him, and Billy knew because some literal random drugged-up dude knew that he interrogated, because of LITERALLY WHATEVER REASON. I mean what's that dude's story?
Now even if Barrigan WAS assigned by Frank to be a mole and keep tabs on Colin and that somehow he also snuck into the room and found Queenan's journal to learn that Frank's also a rat, in the film, Barrigan literally says, "Costello was gonna sell us to the FBI.". So HOW would Barrigan know that Frank was planning to sell them out? And WHY would even the FBI care? If Frank Costello was the FBI's rat and Colin and Barrigan were helping him, wouldn't Colin want to help Frank? Like would the FBI be psyched that Colin was doing the ground-work for them (I mean he keeps Frank out of trouble so they could keep giving him information.)?
Also, the whole FBI plot with Frank being a rat, is only in The Departed BECAUSE of the whole bases around Whitey Bulger (who Costello's character is based on), which I can understand. But if I'm being honest, it really doesn't add anything to the film and would only make the plot sound more complicated than it needs to be. I guess Martin Scorsese and the writers thought that one of the themes should be what Mr French said, "It's a nation of f***ing rats.".
Plus, once Barrigan kills Billy, then Brown, and then tell Colin that they have to stick together (But WHY exactly, if they're the only moles left?), Colin kills Barrigan? And for what reason? You see in the original movie Infernal Affairs, it makes sense, since Chan (who's suppose to be Billy's counterpart) calls the police to meet him at the building where he meets Lau (who's basically Colin's counterpart), so when Chan brings Lau downstairs, he's literally bringing him into police custody. Lau then kills the character who would be Barrigan's counterpart, because he needs a fall-guy, since Chan already told the cops he has the mole in custody. But in The Departed, Billy hasn't told anyone about Colin, not even Trooper Brown. So now that Billy and Brown are dead, there really is no reason to kill Barrigan. They really could have both gone home and left those two there. Also, if you pay attention to the scene when Colin tries to cover the mess, you have to ask yourself HOW Colin would come up with a story that would explain this to the police. He says Barrigan attacked him, but wouldn't they tell from forensics that Billy punched him? I mean, they don't even give us Colin's complete made-up story to the police for why he was there.
It's just all not coming together.
Yeah Leonardo DiCaprio,Jack Nicholson and Mark Whalberg were the best characters and had the best dialouge.
Whalbergs inuslts are next level hilarious in this.
Leo’s death took me of guard wasn’t expecting that he die movie full of twists
One of my favorite movies of all time. The dialogue is absolutely fantastic lol. Thank you so much for watching this one, loved the reaction.
There have been few moments in any film that have ever shocked and upset me as much as seeing Martin Sheen falling through the air. I can remember the exact moment I saw it for the first time and how I felt.
Yeah. And then we still had the end to deal with. Brutal.
Fun fact: that scene where Nicholson pulls a gun on Leo at the bar asking if he's a rat, that was improvised.. and a real gun, not a prop. Leo had no idea Nicholson even had a gun. It was not in the script, so the reaction Leo gives is very real, because it was. ;D
This is my favorite movie of all time. I never get tired of the twists.
After Hours is the most underrated Scorsese movie
Yup. The hidden gem in his filmography.
FINALLY someone brings up "After Hours"!! Underrated and underappreciated!!!
Heck yeah!!!
The Costello character is loosely based on the Irish-American Boston gangster Whitey Bulger.
Up a day earlier than normal, what a treat after work
Leo's death was so shocking!
Got it on DVD, still, one of my favorite movies - the amount of ACTING in this one is insane. Jack as always seemed like he ate the camera.
Yes guys been so excited for this reaction 👍👍
I’ve still gotta watch Infernal Affairs to see how different this movie is, but I think I’ll always love it no matter how much I love it original
They still can't pronounce their "R"s
It is a shame that the majority in US missed out seeing the great Infernal Affairs trilogy before the Departed.
I saw the original yrs before the departed and personally I like it way more. Definitely give it a shot..the departed lifted a lot from it..but triad films have their own gritiness to them.
It's funny that in the "Coming Up" tease where you see their reactions, you pretty much know exactly what scene they're reacting to. HA!
If you guys enjoy thrillers you should definitely check out Zodiac, Prisoners and Deliverance. Three fantastic movies.
OOOFFFF THOSE ARE PERFECT!
Usually any gangster film directed by Martin Scorsese ends with pretty much mostly everyone dying. The trick is figuring who lives.
Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture, the first and only Martin Scorsese gangster flick to ever win.
And it’s a remake of a much superior, less recognised film. Go figure.
@@Youngfreeimaginary to each their own! Both are excellent, but personally I think The Departed is better. But I also rank The Departed very highly in the Scorsese hierarchy.
I thought the aviator won.
@@orangewarm1 Clint Eastwood's Boxing Drama Million Dollar Baby won Best Picture.
@@BigNasty20 I'd put at least 5 other films in front if it: Goodfellas, Cape Fear, King of Comedy, Irishman, Taxi Driver.
I feel like you should react to the original movie Infernal Affairs. Personally, I like the original one although The Departed was a good remake. Please check ‘em out!
Funny when you implied that the rat/mole in the FBI seemed a little too convoluted and far-fetched at times because this is inspired by actual events not very far off from the movie.
Jack Nicholson's character is based on Whitey Bulger, who did have a man on the inside. Over the years of working as an "informant" for the FBI (during which time he gave zero evidence that they didn't already have and lead to zero new arrests) he was able to murder like a dozen people with impunity, due to the protection afforded to him from his crooked FBI handler, agent John Connolly.
Fascinating stuff.
I didn't think anyone remembered that "Silence" happened. That one hit me hard. I've had the Blu-Ray for years but haven't had the courage to rewatch it yet.
Lads, you probably know this, but did not mention it, this is a remake of the 2002 Hong Kong movie
Infernal Affairs which is in 3 parts.
Man I’ve been waiting for this!!!
Glad to see the best picture reviews. I have to suggest Silence of the Lambs 😀
I feel that the main reason why Jack Nicolson's character is so "eccentric" or can be so "eccentric" is because he IS a PROTECTED FBI informant. He feels untouchable, and it's made him giddy weird. Also, if you didn't know, this movie is sort of a take on Whitey Bulger, who was also a protected FBI informant. Finally, you two did great! I've watched reactions to this and some get all screwed up and don't get the ins and outs, but you two got it all. Well done!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitey_Bulger
Dicaprio getting killed was a massive shock in the movie
The table scene that you brought up that you like when Nicholson and DiCaprio were talking Jack pulled out a real gun on Leo to get a more authentic reaction from. It's my favorite Leonardo DeCaprio movie & favorite reaction video for anybody, not just you guys. But you guys are cool.
LA Confidential would be a good one to watch
Copland would be a good one too!
loved that you watched this boys. i watch it every st patricks day!
Guys...it's me again...you guys need to watch the 1979, NYC gang movie...
*THE WARRIORS!*
Can they dig it?
@@takkat5102
*_...CAN THEY DIG IT?!_*
This movie made me realise I needed glasses because I couldn’t tell the difference between Matt Damon and Leo Di Caprio and spent the movie so confused that one guy was simultaneously a dirty cop and an undercover cop 😂
My older brother loved this movie so much he would quote lines in a Boston accent and I would laugh every time.
Look up Whitey Bulger, the Jack Nicolson's character is loosely based on him . He murdered with impunity for years in Boston because he was a protected FBI informer and his brother was coincidently the leader of the Massachusetts State Senate. The movie playing in the background when DiCaprio finds out Costello is an FBI informant is titled "The Informant" which John Ford won an Oscar for in 1935 or 36 I forget.
I remember being stopped on the red line over the Neponset river and seeing Whitey Bulger's bodies being dug up by the local coroner's office.
Great film, another great reaction. Always glad to see new content from you guys. More Scorsese would be fantastic, not necessarily all of them, but damn there are so many greats: Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, Bringing Out The Dead, The Aviator, Shutter Island, Wolf of Wall Street...
Taxi Driver and Raging Bull are the epitome of film-making. Scorsese is a phenomenon.
Yes Tom and Shaun! Another great video.
I love the potty mouth cop insults😆 I think this could be a suspense/thriller too
1:02 That silence and cut was perfect haha
good reaction as always!, though i gotta say that you might wanna put the microphone little more into the center when you had your review talk on the couch
As to the "this isn't Scorsese's best work" you are absolutely right. Most feel this won as kind of a career achievement award, or to makeup for all the earlier films that should have won. It is a good film no doubt, but certainly not the level of some of his other films, but this is the one that they voted as best picture.
It looks like I'm gonna watch this over and over again like I do with many of your videos. Well done, boys.
So this is a first for you both. Nice. This will be a real treat to watch your reactions on this one.
Another great reaction, keep up the good work boys.
I remember seeing this in the theatre and when the elevator door opens and Leo gets shot... the audience reaction was absolutely insane! Something I’ll never forget! Always love seeing people react to this movie for the first time 😊
It's a scene from the og film
What do you guys use for recording yourselves? A camera, an old phone, a GOPro? How long does it record for?
Delahunt played by the legend Mark Rolston was my favorite character. He could have made it public that he gave Billy the wrong address but he didn't. If anything he sounded a bit betrayed but still cared enough about Billy to personally confront him before dying. At least that is how i took it.
Its nice that Maaac from the Chevy Commercials got work
It always came off as unrealistic that no one else was suspicious of Matt Damon's character after that Quenin shit. Marc Wahlbergs reaction was the only sensible one lol
Tom needs to watch Goodfellas ASAP!! Also, two other underrated Scorsese movies: After Hours and King of Comedy!
Just discovered you guys. Started with your reactions to the Scream series. I’m prepping all things Scream in anticipation of the new one being released in January. :)
This movie here is one of my all time favorites. Can’t wait to see your take on it.
the reveal at 20:45 is foreshadowing for the reveal at 25:28 !! watching this movie is like saying "another one!!" over and over again lmao
You don't really se Leo die in movies, only a couple, and normally the hero lives so it was shocking to me. I don't like Mark whatsoever, can't stand racists, but in this movie he did well and got rid of Matts character which was relieving. and the baby was Leos btw
Hell yeah! I love this movie~ So intense! 7:27 "Yes please!" 😂
Not to shade this admittedly great film, but you guys really should check out Infernal Affairs. There were some choices made it westernize it here, like the love triangle, that really didn't work for me. If nothing else, it makes a great case study in cultural translation.
Love this movie. Helps that I am from Massachusetts so when things are based here, I am a little biased, but it's also a great movie. Somehow when I saw it in theaters, I was able to call Dicaprio's demise. As they were riding the elevator down, before the door opened, I said "Boom" to my friend and then it actually happened. Haha such a bummer.
I loved the film when I saw it in the cinema & at the end everyone laughed when the camera pans up after Matt Damon’s character to show the rat outside the window. The film took the use of ‘X’ from the original Scarface from 1932. Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Casino, Raging Bull, The Wolf of Wall Street, Mean Streets, Shutter Island & The King Of Comedy are all great Martin Scorsese films as well as The Departed. Silence is on my watchlist as I still haven’t seen it, whilst the Irishman was a bit too long.
I absolutely LOOOOVE the Martin Scorsese push in shot
The Departed is one of my favorite movies ever actually! Top 10 list and favorite film from 2006. Amazing!
So glad y'all watched it!
Love that you guys chose this film! You've gotta check out Casino, next! Scorsese does intricately-plotted crimes pics so well! He also makes them so entertaining which is an underrated gift as a director. DeNiro grounds the film, but Sharon Stone (who was nominated for a BA Oscar for her role) and Joe Pesci really shine! And might I suggest two more American greats: David Fincher (another talent with a knack for making stylish, thoughtful films with mass appeal) and Steven Soderbergh. You two are great! Always enjoy these! Peace. (:
It would be great if you eventually checked out the original hong Kong version
I'd love to see you guys react to the original "Taking of Pelham One Two Three", one of the great heist movies of the 70s (Tarantino got the idea for the "Reservoir Dogs" color-coded nicknames from this). It also has perhaps the most satisfying final line/shot in movie history.
Fitzie was in Braveheart (Steven)
Frenchy was in King Arthur (Bors)
Damon was Jason
DiCaprio was Jack
Jack joked with Batman
Alec joked with...Beetlejuice
Martin battled Brando
Anthony battled Transformers
Marky Transformed to Mark
This entire movie is about fatherhood. Front to back, it's a movie about the place of fathers in the lives of sons, and the wake of either positivity or negativity they leave. It's insanely blatant once you know it.
Love your videos. Also, have you guys ever reviewed Rosemary's Baby? It's a true horror masterpiece. The creepiness stays with you for days lol. The tone and atmosphere etc...
Definitely one of my favorites! My second favorite is Gangs of New York
I will not be surprised if the second time you watch it you change your mind and think it is a masterpiece. that is what happened to me. too much to take the first time but my god one of my favorite gangsters film now, with Goodfellas, Carlitos way and godfather 2. and matt damon is such an underappreciated actor. the guy who can play the talented mr ripley, welcome to candelabra and mr bourne and then the departed ...wouah
Can't wait for your reaction to THAT SCENE.
Its like watching Iker Casillas and Rupert Grint reacting movies!
Great job guys. I tried watching The Departed years ago but could not finish because all of the language (f-bombs) bothered me so much. But now, after watching your review, I've decided to give it another try! It looks incredible, such an amazing, talented cast!! And of course, Scorsese.
You guys should react to Infernal Affairs (the original this one is based on)
